I think this is insufficient as an explanation.

It is apparently EVERY later culture that failed to preserve any of the ancient books. Obviously there was no purge, intermediate period, or massive book burning that could have destroyed every single ancient book so logically it must have been a process, a basic force, that wiped out all of them.

I'm proposing this basic force was the simple fact that the books couldn't be translated. People knew the ancients were powerful and wise, they built the pyramids afterall, but when they looked at the writing it was the same gobbledty gook we see today. Some was "interpreted" and some just sat on a shelf but none of it was translated because it can't be translated outside of science and logic. It is a language of science and logic so the meaning disappears when you try to put it in English or 1500 BC Egyptian.

We invented computer language but ironically enough we can't even conceive of a language based on logic. We are so accustomed to the language we learned as babies that we can't conceive of any other means of communication.

I doubt that pyramid "blueprints" are very likely to appear in the time capsule we call G1 (the Great Pyramid). They had a great deal to tell us and limited room to do it. More importantly though they knew if we could solve the writing on the wall then we could easily deduce how the capsule was built. Many of the specific processes needed should be included at least tangentially in the "Book of Thought". Of course this is mere speculation and you might well be right. There's no reason we can't find the "Diary of the Pyramid Builder" or somesuch.

Otherwise I'm in general agreement with your post.
